Tartan "Micarta" Sgian Dubh

[ChattanCat]

Is it to the stripe or the sett?

[O'Neille]

Great job! Is that X-Marks tartan that you used?

Yep, from my pleat cut outs

You laid the tartan lams right over the tang rather than laying them up and then drilling a tang hole, right?
And that's a poured pewter bolster and end cap?

Three swings and three misses. I made a brick of tartancarta from my remnants, cut handle then rough shaped and drilled in a machinist vise.



The end caps are 6061 T6 aircraft aluminum (crashed plane)

Is it to the stripe or the sett?

The inside pleats from my xmarks kilt so it would be to the stripe.
